The Sadness of (a) Last Kiss...

I feel like I may be beating a dead horse with all the promotion of Taylor Swift (I should be getting paid for all the advertising I do for her), but I can't stress enough just how much I love her MUSIC AND LYRICS!

I've said that her newest album out is Speak Now and I finally had enough money to buy it and now that I have, it's all I listen to (I just put it on repeat on my iTunes).

I really love "Mean", and "Speak Now" and I love the official music video for "Sparks Fly"... it's aw-mazing!

However, my newest love by her is "Last Kiss". I CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD! (Not that I want to...)

As sad as it is, it's beautiful in its sadness. It makes me want to cry because it's so sad, but its idea is so beautiful and she sings it so well and heartfelt that I just can't help but cry.

"You told me you loved me, so why did you go away?"

AND

"All that I know is I don't know, how to be something you miss."

AND

"How you'd kiss me when I was in the middle of saying something, There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions."

AND

"And I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are, Hope it's nice where you are."

The chorus is probably the most heart-wrenching words I've heard sung:

"I never thought we'd have a last kiss, Never imagined we'd end like this, Your name, forever the name on my lips."

If you don't listen to this song, you are depriving yourself of an experience that music so rarely creates: Empathy.

--------------------------------------

I still remember the look on your face
Been through the darkness at 1:58
The words that you whispered for just us to know
You told me you loved me so why did you go away, go away

I do recall now the smell of the rain
Fresh on the pavement, I ran off the plane
That July 9th the beat of your heart
It jumps through your shirt, I can still feel your arms

But now I'll go sit on the floor wearing your clothes
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you miss

Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

I do remember the swing of your step
The life of the party, you're showing off again
And I roll my eyes and then you pulled me in
I'm not much for dancing but for you did

Because I loved your handshake, meeting my father
I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets
How you'd kiss me when I was in the middle of saying something
There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions

And I'll go, sit on the floor wearing your clothes
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you miss

Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips, ohh

So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
And I'll feel you forget me like I use to feel you breathe
And I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are
Hope it's nice where you are

And I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day
And something reminds you, you wish you had stayed
We can plan for a change in weather and time
I never planned on you changing your mind

So, I'll go, sit on the floor wearing your clothes
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you miss

I never thought we'd ever last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips
Just like our last kiss, forever the name on my lips
Forever the name on my lips, just like our last
